## What's an Apify Actor?

Actors are web data automations that power AI and operations. They run on the Apify platform to scrape websites, process data, connect APIs, and automate workflows.
In Batch mode, an Actor accepts a well-defined JSON input, performs an action which can take anything from a few seconds to a few hours,
and optionally produces a well-defined JSON output, datasets with results, or files in key-value store.
In Standby mode, an Actor provides a web server which can be used as a website, API, or an MCP server.
Actors are written with capital "A".

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
The best way to integrate Actors is as follows.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
- **Any other language** — the [REST API](https://docs.apify.com/api/v2.md).

For usage examples, see the [API](#api) section below.

# README

## 99acres Properties Search Scraper

Extract property listings from 99acres.com search result pages. Supports residential apartments, plots, villas, and commercial properties across all Indian cities.

### Features

- **Search results extraction** — scrape all properties from any 99acres search URL (up to 500 items)
- **Automatic pagination** — continues to next pages until `maxItems` is reached
- **Deep scraping mode** — opens each property's detail page in parallel tabs for richer data (full description, amenities, RERA number, contact, images)
- **Anti-bot bypass** — uses residential proxy + realistic browser fingerprinting

### Input

| Field | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| `searchUrls` | string\[] | required | One or more 99acres search URLs |
| `maxItems` | integer | 20 | Maximum properties to scrape (1–500) |
| `enableDeepScraping` | boolean | false | Open each detail page for description, RERA, amenities |
| `proxyConfiguration` | object | RESIDENTIAL | Apify proxy settings |

#### Example Input

```json
{
  "searchUrls": ["https://www.99acres.com/search/property/buy/chennai-west?city=36&res_com=R"],
  "maxItems": 20,
  "enableDeepScraping": false
}
```

### Output Fields

| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| `propertyId` | 99acres ID (e.g. `r437330`, `S88393530`) |
| `propertyType` | Property type (Apartment, Land, Villa, etc.) |
| `propertyUrl` | Direct URL to the listing |
| `propertyDetails.name` | Project / property name |
| `propertyDetails.description` | Description text |
| `propertyDetails.bedrooms` | Number of BHK |
| `propertyDetails.bathrooms` | Number of bathrooms |
| `price.displayPrice` | Formatted price (e.g. `₹1.55 - 1.57 Cr`) |
| `price.min` / `price.max` | Price in INR (numeric) |
| `area.min` / `area.max` | Area in sq ft |
| `location.address` | Locality name |
| `dates.posted` | When the listing was posted |
| `verification.isReraRegistered` | RERA mentioned in card |
| `verification.reraNumber` | Actual RERA ID (deep scraping) |
| `contact.name` | Agent/builder name (deep scraping) |
| `amenities` | Amenity list (deep scraping) |
| `images` | Property photo URLs (deep scraping) |

### Supported URL Patterns

- `search/property/buy/CITY` — Buy listings
- `search/property/rent/CITY` — Rental listings
- Any 99acres filtered search URL

### Notes

- Phone numbers require clicking "View Number" — not extractable from search cards
- Images on search results use CSS backgrounds — use deep scraping for actual photos
- Residential proxy strongly recommended to avoid bot detection
- Speed: ~15–20 properties/min (deep scraping: ~4–5/min)

## `enableDeepScraping` (type: `boolean`):
